These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 2Original post

Depending on the year of your car and the year of your garage opener, you may not be able to get it to work without adding an additional signal converter in your garage. I recently replaced my garage opener and the newer models use a different signal protocol. My 2008 can no longer can be programmed to open the doors. An additional unit must be purchased to modify the signal in order to program the cars opener buttons. They are not particularly expensive but I passed and just use the remote that came with the new garage opener.

POST 3Original post

As Budman said, you probably need the Homelink Bridge. Another option is to replace the transmitter module behind the front bumper with a newer module which aren’t too expensive on ebay. See this thread for more info. https://www.planet-9.com/987-cayman-and-boxster-electronics/237219-homelink-transmitter-location.html?highlight=Homelink

POST 4Original post

Thanks i still wanna find the transmitter and maybe replace it because the wires for the switch were cut wanna make sure the transmitter wires r still there just wasnt sure where it was ill pop the bumper off and see what i find

POST 5Original post

IIRC, it is located behind the front bumper cover on the passenger side... Strange that the wires were cut, seems like a 'modder' was in there a messed things up a bit?

POST 6Original post

Yea i got it from a small mom and pop dealership and they had a new headliner installed thinking they cut them then but wanna make sure someone didnt cut the ones to the box too. I just replaced the AOS and the air filter which was dated 2010 and disintegrating and put a 4” crank pulley on it other than that im gonna leave it stock it was a dealership launch code vehicle it came with the 18” wheels and the Brembo brakes already on it
